But now, alter a lapse of some eigLteen hundred yeare, the Gentile, by the refining and elevating power of the Gospel, has been brought np to the tame degree of physical and intellectual sensitiveness that the Jew had attained to in the days of Christ and his apostles, consequently manifeetations from evil spirits must at the present time appear for the same reason that they appeared among the Jews in the days of Christ.— That holy or ministering spirits have some P0"*er to aid and help the children of men ; but their power is not bo great as the evil spirits, aud uence if Christians were net kept by the mighty power of Ged they woold atterly fail.

And so it ended, and my father slipped over the bog, mighty well satisfied with the legacy he left himself. That Spiritualism ia every day gaining vote, ries to its causa is ovident upon every hand.— And wherefore is this ? The reason evidently originatea in the fact of the physical manifestations which its votaries can adduce in support of its positions. BRANDENBURG'S BAKERY!

Having secured the services of Mr. H. Zoche, one of the best binders to be found in the State, we are prepared to furnish to Hitherto the Christian Church has been unwilling to admit tbe facts of the manifestations, bat, as proofs of the manifestations begin to accummuUte, that position must be surrendered. What, then, is the last and only resort of the Church of Christ? Why, evidently, admit what is most clearly prophesied will take place ia the latter day : "How the spirit says express, y that in after times some will depart from the faith ; giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons." In King iJames's translation the word demonion ia translated devil, bat this is evidently a mistranslation.— Webster, in his unabridged dictionary, uses these words : "In the Scripturea the Greek word rendered devil, is' sometimes erroneously so rendered—demon is the word. For nothing is more certain than that different beings tended." New, this being the case, we mast come to the only conclusion a rational mjad can come to—that tbe modern manifestations knows as spiritual manifestations originate from this elaas of spirits. Now, bow are they characterized ; that is; what will be the distinctive teachings of this class of beings? " Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and forbidding to marry." Now, is not this one of tbe distinctive characteristics of modern Spiritualism ? Do they not very lightly esteem the marriage relation, and are not their communications through their papers characterised by q(»ery variety of opinion upon every subject wft&fn the range of human thought. But Paul, in 2d Tbessalonians, is more graphic in his description of the same phenomena.— lie dec 1 area that immediately after the " Man of sin" is revealed then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall deatroy with the brightness of his coming—even him whose codtitg is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish. Maker Han First.—Many years ago, in what is now a flourishing city,lived a stalwart blacksmith, fond of his pipe and his joke. He was also fond of his blooming daughter, whose ma' ory graces had ensnared the affections of a young printer. The couple, after a season of billing and,cooing, "engaged themselven," and nothing but the consent of the young ladies' parents prevented their union. To obtain this an interview was arranged, and the typo prepared a little speech to admonish aud convince the old man, who sat enjoying his pipe in perfect content.

They persecute Jesus Christ with a bitterness which eren Infidelity ha« not as yet manifested. They make no scruples in declaring that ho was but a man, and quite an imperfect one at that. They hare no scruples in declaring that the body of Jesus was never raised and shown to his disciples as his real body, but was made to appear by a psychological effect upon their minds. Now, who cannot see in all this an anti-Christ, an absolute opposer of the whole system of salvation by grace ?

But now, alter a lapse of some eigLteen hundred yeare, the Gentile, by the refining and elevating power of the Gospel, has been brought np to the tame degree of physical and intellectual sensitiveness that the Jew had attained to in the days of Christ and his apostles, consequently manifeetations from evil spirits must at the present time appear for the same reason that they appeared among the Jews in the days of Christ.— That holy or ministering spirits have some P0"*er to aid and help the children of men ; but their power is not bo great as the evil spirits, aud uence if Christians were net kept by the mighty power of Ged they woold atterly fail.

What, then, is the last and only resort of the Church of Christ? Why, evidently, admit what is most clearly prophesied will take place ia the latter day : "How the spirit says express, y that in after times some will depart from the faith ; giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons." In King iJames's translation the word demonion ia translated devil, bat this is evidently a mistranslation.— Webster, in his unabridged dictionary, uses these words : "In the Scripturea the Greek word rendered devil, is' sometimes erroneously so rendered—demon is the word. For nothing is more certain than that different beings tended." New, this being the case, we mast come to the only conclusion a rational mjad can come to—that tbe modern manifestations knows as spiritual manifestations originate from this elaas of spirits. Now, bow are they characterized ; that is; what will be the distinctive teachings of this class of beings? " Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and forbidding to marry." Now, is not this one of tbe distinctive characteristics of modern Spiritualism ? Do they not very lightly esteem the marriage relation, and are not their communications through their papers characterised by q(»ery variety of opinion upon every subject wft&fn the range of human thought. But Paul, in 2d Tbessalonians, is more graphic in his description of the same phenomena.— lie dec 1 area that immediately after the " Man of sin" is revealed then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall deatroy with the brightness of his coming—even him whose codtitg is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish.

They persecute Jesus Christ with a bitterness which eren Infidelity ha« not as yet manifested. They make no scruples in declaring that ho was but a man, and quite an imperfect one at that. They hare no scruples in declaring that the body of Jesus was never raised and shown to his disciples as his real body, but was made to appear by a psychological effect upon their minds. Now, who cannot see in all this an anti-Christ, an absolute opposer of the whole system of salvation by grace ?
